So now what?



BREAKING NEWS: House of Representatives vote against the "Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008", final vote 227:206. Did I call my Congresswoman, Mary Fallin and let her know my position? Yes. Was I against the government putting more money in a corrupt and broken system? Yes. Was I absolutely against government ownership of a major part of our free market system? Yes. Was I positive I was a minority and they would vote for this measure? A resounding yes! So now what!?! Although I am relieved that a majority of those in the House have the same reservations about this 'bail out', I am very anxious about what will happen now. Even though I knew this was not the right answer to such a catastrophe, it was an answer. And right now, the only answer. Is Wall Street going to completely collapse? Will we find ourselves in the middle of a "D-Word"? (notice how no one, current President, candidates, congressmen, etc will not say "depression"?) It is just a waiting game now.
